On Oct. 25, 2017, we had an electrical fire in our 2015 Newmar Dutch Star. It stared in the Dometic controls for the commode in the 1/2 bath. The fire inspector stated the only protection was an automatic resettable breaker. It obviously failed. Has anyone else this issue? I have found out that this same system is installed on some high end 5th wheels.

I know this is not funny but I could not restrain myself. If my toilet was electric I think I would relate it to old smokey at the prison ever time i sat down.

Welcome to irv2.
Here is a thread to help you around irv2.
Have not heard of your problem in the Newmar Forum, until now.
There is nothing in a search also.
The control would be supplied by a 12v fuse on your main 12v fuse panel not from a GFI outlet, if I got your question right.

Was the coach destroyed or fired contained? Were you in it at the time?
